tagUpdate enhancement

[simoncn]

It isn't possible to do a "startsWith" match because of how tagUpdate is implemented. This would require all paths to be specified in full, which would rule out your first two examples.

Also, tagging programs such as Mp3tag allow bulk tagging of a selection of files, making it very easy to add GENRE=Classical to everything under the /Music/Classical folder or to add ALLMUSIC_URL=mw0001452888 to everything under the /Music/Pop Rock/Fleetwood Mac/1988 - Greatest Hits folder.

Regarding your comment about Genre, it should be no more difficult to create custom Genre tags when ripping an album than to create custom Genre-specific folders.

From a number of forum posts, I have the impression that people who use folder view do so either because their tags are in a poor state and they don't want to invest time in fixing this and/or because they have put a lot of time into creating a folder structure that exactly meets their needs. This would mean there is little prospect of getting these people to move to tag view.
